CINDERFORD Town have unveiled their full pre-season fixture list as they gear up for the 2025/26 campaign, a season that marks their return to the Hellenic Premier Division following relegation from the Southern League.

The Foresters endured a difficult 2024/25 season, finishing bottom of the Southern League Division One South with just 31 points.

With new challenges ahead and the aim of bouncing back at the first time of asking, the pre season schedule offers a crucial platform for rebuilding confidence and sharpening the squad ahead of a fresh start.

Preparations begin on Friday, June 27 at 7.45PM with a home fixture against a Forest Select XI at The Causeway. The match is set to showcase some of the district’s best grassroots talent and provides a fitting opener in front of local supporters.

From there, CINDERFORD will test themselves against a strong line up of Welsh opposition, with four of their five pre season opponents coming from across the border.

The first of those comes on Wednesday, July 2 at 7.30PM, when the Foresters make the short trip to Lydbrook to take on Monmouth Town FC.

On Saturday, July 5 at 3PM, Cinderford return home to face Trethomas FC, followed by another fixture at The Causeway on Saturday, July 12 at 3PM against Abergavenny FC.

The pre season campaign concludes under the lights on Friday, July 18 at 7.45PM with Newport Saints FC visiting The Causeway for what promises to be another stern test ahead of the new league season.

With the dust now settled on a disappointing relegation, the upcoming pre season represents a clean slate for the club.

Supporters are encouraged to turn out in numbers for the home fixtures, with ticket information and matchday details set to be released in due course.
